If the hospital's board of directors approves, Chief Nursing Officer Cynthia Pearsall said the hospital could offer inpatient detox care. Pearsall said the care would be short-term, between three and five days, and would be open to men and women struggling with drug and alcohol addictions. A detailed plan would be set in place for continued treatment before a person would be discharged.
